Just like the travel trips that you take together, working out is also a powerful tool to strengthen your relationship. So, if you were looking to kickstart a fitness routine, we suggest you give couple yoga a try.

Not only do the asanas help you regain flexibility and feel healthier, but the assisted stretches also help in your relationship.
